72 HIGH FIRS CRESCENT Price Paid vs. HPI Average

The below graph shows the average semi-detached house price in the St Albans local authority area over time, sourced from the HPI. The three 72 HIGH FIRS CRESCENT sales between October 2001 and September 2013 have been plotted on the graph. A line has been extrapolated to show what the value of the property might have been over time, following each sale, had it maintained the same margin above or below the HPI (as a percentage). For example, the April 2002 sale was for 19% above the HPI. So the extrapolation line tracks at 19% above the HPI over time, until the September 2013 sale, where it rises to 53% above the HPI. The line then continues to track at 53% above the HPI.

What might 72 HIGH FIRS CRESCENT be worth now?
